Maria, I think the reason those shorts didn't do so well under KU1.0 is because there was a lot of "series" of a "book" that got chopped up into 80-90 page chunks which should have been one book. Those were very annoying, but since KU2.0 those are not there so much to be replaced by real novel length books with 400+ pages. Now the short stories are no longer under the bad reputation of being click bait and book slot wasters (of the 10 books max you can borrow).
But that is just my theory. The appearance of more long books is welcome. I still cannot say that it is all that complicated to find complete series that are start to finish in KU (including one I am following that has a new book coming out later this month already announced to be in KU as well). It seems some authors don't mind going smaller payout to get more readers - some may even purchase outright for keepsake or become fan of the author to buy non-KU books.
